Symptoms of dacryocystitis

The main symptoms of dacryocystitis include the following aspects: 1. Epiphora: Patients often experience excessive tearing, with involuntary lacrimation even in the absence of obvious stimuli. 2. Eye redness and swelling: Patients commonly develop redness and swelling around the eye, particularly at the inner canthus; severe cases may be accompanied by pain. 3. Increased discharge: The patient's tears become cloudy and may even contain purulent discharge, due to bacterial proliferation within the lacrimal sac leading to worsening infection. 4. Tenderness around the eye: Pressing or touching the inner corner of the eye may cause significant pain, as inflammation leads to localized swelling and sensitivity of the lacrimal sac. 5. Other symptoms: Some patients may also experience blurred vision, preauricular lymphadenopathy, and other associated symptoms.
